Many LivesThis one was written when I was in a reflective mood! Reincarnation is a funny thing really, one day I believe in it, and another day I am not so sure. Anyway I hope you like this. I would be great if it were...

Very well written, and very scary.

It was good to see the "Good Guys" win in the end.

Thanks Nell.

Very graphic. Your images and emotions put us all at the mercy of the aliens. Thanks for "righting" things with the blessing, moon, and sunset.

So strong and graphic, almost makes you feel like you were actually witnessing the event.

Good job.

"Independence day" in poetry.I prefer to watch the movie's version rather than read science fiction.Amazingly,this poem is an exception.It is a hard topic to write and one I would not attempt.I like the way you've skillfully woven the technical and emotional aspect of the story into a vivid and graphic experience for the reader.Kudos!

Hi, SilentReed, thank you so much for your amazing praise, I love writing poetry, but the feeling of it has to take me there first, I can't just sit and do it, and when I do, it seems to flow itself, thanks everybody too! cheers nell

Never read your poetry pieces before, but I'm glad I caught this one. I love alien tales in any form. Great stuff!

My dear Nell you captured the moment of terror as stealth and crushing steel combined its forces to for now defeat and keep at bay the Alien ship that came to earth.

May we never have this encounter for I fear no man made ship will be able to defeat a much superior Alien encounter. We are not alone, they watch and keep guard over earth, they see what we are doing to it and one day may Intervene.

We await full disclosure. You definitely captured my full attention with your splendid verse. Peace and hugs from the Saddlerider

What a story! It was like watching a movie. Scary! Who knows what is out there? Anything! Voted UP and UP. To write a story like this in the format of a poem takes a lot of brain power. This is brilliant, Nell!

Nell Rose 5 years ago from England Author

Hi, Martie, thank you so much! it started as a story, but the poem got in the way! ha ha then I thought, Oh well, I will just do it as a poem, and that's what happened! lol, thanks again nell
